Ventajas: Loved being in the center of downtown and walking out to Fremont street.
Also when playing slot machines had a great waitress who kept a drink in my hand at all times. That was perfect.
My kids (8) and (14) liked the water slide through the shark tank. Even if the overall pool was small.

Desventajas: Staff at front desk wasn't helpful. Overbooked from what I reserved. Was told no kings available i could upgrade to a suite at my own expense. First room was not comfortable and not clean. Obliged to pay extra for suite. I felt there was no reward for play at table games. Drinks took a while limited selection. Probably won't stay there again. Buffet was sub par.

Desventajas: Very Sad that the Golden Nuggets # 1 amenity (The Pool) Closes at 7pm in the Summer. Totally rediculous. My son was so upset because we got their at 6pm and he had less than 1hour in the pool. Very Poor Decision cheating your guests out of an experience especially when you have the highest Resort fees of any hotel in vegas. I pay that to be able to enjoy your pool.

Desventajas: The business center charged you to use it ( its out in the hallway, not private) on top of the highest resort fee I've seen in Vegas yet! These fees are shams, all the items included in them should be a hotel standard. .... if you're a five star hotel, that is!
Also avoid staying in the Carson tower. The rooms are not updated, mine had a broken window, no coffee or microwave.

My kids (8) and (14) liked the water slide through the shark tank. Even if the overall pool was small.

Desventajas: Front desk person didn’t want to give me a room with two beds even if my reservation said so. Told me that was wrong. You want to argue with me, or apologize and try to fix the mistake? Her “fix” was to give me a smoking room. Yuck. The only options for multiple beds is two double beds. For older kids or adults sharing a bed, This makes for cramped sleeping. The room looked like it needed to be vacuumed. Very small bathroom. There was small hairs in the bathroom sink. Rust in the shower, and the tub drained slowly as well.

Ventajas: Very cozy and comfortable. Staff was amazing. Always willing to help in any way possible.

Ventajas: I love the California hotel, whenever I visit Vegas it's my little slice of home (Hawaii). If you're from the islands the California is a pretty comfortable place to be.
They have a variety of food choices, and a lot of things I can't normally get on the mainland.
The gambling is fun, the people are nice, and overall I think it's a great hotel.
The majority of the crowd is rather old so if you're looking for something more modern or trendy than you would probably be better off somewhere on the strip.

Eric Eisenberg, Director Of Hotel Operations was completely unhelpful in compensating me for all that went wrong. His response to my missing hardware and move was "Can I buy you a coffee?" Just a nightmare but hey you get what you pay for....

Ventajas: Train going by behind the hotel several times throughout the nite

Desventajas: Requested non-smoking room which I verified again upon check in at front desk. The clerk even dblchked w/me on non-smoking preference. Got assigned a smoking room on the 15th floor which I didn't realize till the smoke came whiffing down the hallway couple of days later when new guests choked in on the floor. Housecleaning had to open the exit doors at both end of the hallway to get fresh air in and smoke out. Found the remainder of my week's stay irritating dealing w/the smell but had situated myself in the room already, thus, did not want to move rooms. Brought to front desk attention upon chk out and not even a apology. Her attitude was like "Oh Well"

Ventajas: The hotel had a lot of character, friendly staff, good buffet and Video Poker Machines. I like how it's connected to the California for additional gambling options.

Desventajas: Our room faced the freeway which was very loud. It's a few blocks away from Fremont street, which is okay during the day, but would not want to walk alone at night. Fortunately, I could cut through the California most of the way.

Bathroom fixtures haven't been updated for a very long time, shower was difficult to adjust

Desventajas: Front desk staff, Michelle. I checked in a day later than my pre-PAID reservation. I called 2 days prior to ask about adjusting my reservation and was denied. Michelle was unsure if my room was available, when she did get a supervisors approval she let me know while I reserved 2 queen beds I would take 1 king bed. Further I asked could she extend my stay, I understand the room is about $300 for the 1 night. She said NO. I would need to check out Sunday by 11am and return at 3pm if I wanted to reserve a room for 1 night I should go to the website. I said but I am standing here with my credit card in hand, willing to pay going rate to stay another night. She said go on line. Her customer service is horrible.
Saturday 830am the band began sound check at the pool deck. Sunday morning the hotel maids began pounding on my door at 9:00AM to let me know it was time for me to check out. All around disappointing experience and stay. All because of the people, staff. I checked out on Sunday as Michelle instructed and took my self and all my money to another hotel. I will not be returning to the Downtown Grand. Bye Michelle!

Desventajas: At check-in one Asian guy had a guest he was check-in . While waiting in line the other employee was on computer shopping and paid no attention to us need to checking , when Asian guy finished with guest he politely asked may I help you and started the our check-in , the girl raised her head up and asked the white couple standing do they need help. I felt she didn't give us the same respect since we were not white. We were check-in 1424 the a.c. didn't work !!!! I reported it . Maintenance couldn't fix it , went front desk for update because we were out and was going to be out the remainder of the day. The front agent told me I have to move by 2pm if I won't to change rooms . I asked can I just move when I get back , she told me "No" by 2pm if not they want be able move me because housekeeping need to clean the room I am in to sell it . I told her I work in engineering 15 yrs and that is clogged/dirty line on chill water and it won't be fix when you have paper with all the rooms on 14 floor with a.c. not cooling . She said will sell those rooms regards of repaired or not , I told her this ridiculous and to give me my new keys. We were move 318 a.c. didn't work there either , only worked because the lower you room the cool the chill water , meaning there possibly a circulating pump broken and that the case there will be hot for a while. So taking people money and and selling them product that you know before is not working is very unlawful.

$9.99 wifi per day per device. If you have 2 devices (ipad, iphone with limited data plan, etc), you pay $20 per day. ---> Resort fee of $20 per day would be better when it includes wifi for any number of devices.
Website only indicated "wifi". I think this racket is even worse than the resort fee, which, at least is shown in the reservation page of travel websites.
The payable wifi for our stay was not shown anywhere in our reservation details. We reserved through a website called Amoma, which was one of the sites referred to by Kayak
I did not bother to check if they have a swimming pool. I think they don't.

Desventajas: Crystal an El Cortez employee called me on my cell phone the 2nd to last day of our reservation threatening me. She told me that they were throwing all of our stuff out, that I should have already checked-out, that I hadn't paid etc. etc..... I explained in a calmly manner that it must be a mistake. My husband and I had booked the room for that whole weekend and that we had already paid for it. Crystal argued over the phone w/ me saying that I was in the wrong and that we better come down immediately to retrieve our things before someone else takes off with them. I again pressed that there must be some sort of mix-up. Crystal then proceeded to tell me to "come down and prove it". I was at a music festival w/ no ins-or-outs. I had to leave the festival which I paid $75 to be at to "prove" that I was in fact telling the truth. She was the RUDEST employee I have ever encountered, a real NASTY bit** They had cancelled our key-cards so we weren't even able to access the Cabana to see if our stuff was laid outside. My husband called and talked to them. He also had to leave the festival (another $75 down the drain) to go to the front desk to straighten everything out. They in fact had messed up and mixed my name up w/ another guest. They were very unapologetic. They reissued key cards for us that ended up not working. We had to go back to the front desk to explain that we weren't able to access our room. Finally, 4 key cards later we were able to access our room and check on our belongings. I have never been that angered at a business in my life. Here I was having a grand old time at this awesome music festival to get called out of the blue and threatened by CRYSTAL the El Cortez employee/operator that all of my belongings were being thrown out on the street. My husband and I have stayed at this hotel every memorial weekend for the past 5 years. We have never been treated this horribly before. They (Crystal especially) ruined what would have been a near "perfect" vacation. Needless to say we will never be staying there again. It's rather unfortunate.

Ventajas: I liked the great downtown location with the live music stages, the zip line, the ability to do lots of things without having to walk too far, unlike the hotels on the strip! Also loved the fact that the price was good, and didn't have tp pay daoly resort fee you get charged on the strip! Will definitely come back!!!

Desventajas: The rooms are 30yrs old or more. The hallway carpet is nasty and all bubbled up. The doors to the rooms are beat up. There is zero space to be away from the smoke and casino. Even the Subway is in the middle of the casino floor. My kids got an education seeing someone passed out from alcohol poisoning getting wheeled up to their room! :(

Desventajas: Lack of pool, but then again, not having to pay resort fee made up for it!

Ventajas: Everything especially the Sports Book. The main reason i keep coming back to the Plaza is that you are 1 of 2 hotels left in Downtown LV that does not require a $100 security deposit for rooms. PLEASE.. PLEASE i urge you NOT to change that!! $50 is more than enough.

Ventajas: I liked the how friendly the staff were. The valet worked out awesome for me as I flew there to pick up my new 'stang. Every time we called the front desk everyone was incredibly friendly and nice. I wish there was a mini fridge in the room. I figured that was standard nowadays but apparently not. I would definitely stay there again. First time staying in that section of Vegas. I loved how tall the bathroom counters were. For me it was the perfect height.

Desventajas: I didn't like the fact that two elevators were out of order. That's all I can think of that would be that they offer all the things anybody could ask or even a free shuttle to the airport so my complaint is very minimal indeed.

Desventajas: There were two outlets in the room and one of them didn't work at all, the one by the desk. There was also a problem with the boiler that caused the hot water to be effected on our first day there, we couldn't shower until after noon. The beds are below average in comfort and will leave you stiff. Probably bring extra padding if you have back problems.

Desventajas: No fridge in room was our major downside. One outlet by window did not work and there was limited bathroom counter space.

Ventajas: It was away from the hustle and bustle of the strip

Desventajas: - Not enough lighting in room.
- Water kept building up in the tub.
- No fridge
- Parking system with attendant needs to be changed. Waited in a long line of cars to simply show my key card to park in the structure.
- Confirmation number through Kayak did not register at the check-in/check-out kiosk. Had to wait in line.

Desventajas: BEWARE!!! Upon check-in I was advised that I needed to make a $100 security deposit. When I checked out the next morning I was charged an additional $22 for a resort fee. The room was old, small and noisy. But what can you expect for what was supposed to be a $42 room charge (plus $22).

2,8 Regular

Ventajas: It was the cheapest price on Freemont

Desventajas: The hotel is long overdue for a remodel. The air-conditioning in the room was mediocre and would keep switching off. Some kind of construction was taking place that prevented me from being able to sleep. I could understand if work was being done during the week when there's less customers staying in the hotel. But no, on the weekend and in the morning I wake up to a drilling sound coming from the next room. I've learned my lesson and will never stay at this hotel ever again.

Desventajas: The fact that they sent me to an side building and not their main hotel. Which meant I had to park in a public parking lot which lead to my car getting a ticket. Which now I have to fight to get it cleaned off my record. All because of either the incompetence or maybe they did it on purpose of the women at the front desk who gave me the parking pass and putting the wrong date on it. I was tired from the drive and did not check it, so now I have that ticket I have to battle to get cleaned up. So I would NOT recommend this hotel!

Desventajas: Longest check in process in my entire life. And I was the only one the agent was checking in!
Asked for a quiet room, got put on a floor where people were arguing in the halls and banging doors all night
Front desk originally granted me a late checkout but told no one so banging on my door the minute after normal checkout commenced.
Clogged sink. Had to use the bathtub to brush my teeth and wash my face.

Desventajas: No refrigerators and microwave in our room and people hogging up the ice in the ice machine by the main building. There should be ice machines in each building.

Ventajas:

Desventajas: I tried to find outlets next to the bed to plug in my phone. Couldn't find any. There where two lamps next to the bed. I wondered what they were plugged into. Turned out nothing. The lamps where just there for decoration!
Turned out you didn't need the lamps. There was a lamppost directly outside the window that lit up the room. It felt light late evening with all the light a out. I didn't realize this until it was late. I just went sleep. They need to provide curtains in that room.

Desventajas: Hotel phone was not working: calls went thru an intermediary ("The Oasis") though answered professionally; so it was not possible to reach the Front Desk directly; only way was thru email; there are also no room phones, which was not per se a problem for me.
Ventilation fan in bathroom was quite noisy.

Desventajas: Our air conditioner broke in the middle of the night. It was 120 degrees outside! They were swift about fixing it, but then it kept going on and off every 15 min the rest of the night and my husband and I could not sleep. The air conditioner drowned out the noise of the party at Gold Strike (blaring music til 4am) but without the air conditioner you could hear music and noise, and we weren't even that close to the bar! The pool could use more lounge chairs - I only counted 4. This was the cheapest place I could find on a Saturday night without being a total dive, so you get what you pay for I suppose.

Desventajas: The resort fee listed on Kayak was $7.95. Oasis at Goldspike said they charge $20 and were unwilling to honor the fee I was charged. The lobby was set up poorly. But most importantly, the staff was horrible. I didn't stay because of the resort fee. There was an unauthorized charge of $50 on my credit card. When I contacted the front desk about it, not only did they not apologize, they became rude and belligerent with me. Don't stay here! Stay at the Villa Inn Motel instead. It's located on Las Vegas Blvd. extremely close to Fremont Street. Alex and the other staff are really nice and rates are very reasonable. No resort fee and the room was nice. Very quiet as well!

Desventajas: I had booked a room for me and my wife and our infant daughter a week before CES convention for normal rates. When I arrived I was told by reservation has been canceled because I didn’t show up. I had called a week prior inform them I’d be checking in late. When I arrived early in the morning, during a rainstorm I was told by a young woman with tattoos that my reservation canceled and that it wasn’t her problem. There I was in Las Vegas with my wife in my infant daughter with nowhere to go in a rainstorm. After four hours of searching we were able to get a room at the disgusting Hooters Hotel and Casino for $600 for one night, this room is horrible there is mold in the bathtub and I felt like I would’ve got an STD if I laid on the bed. Originally I would’ve paid $300 for my stay at the oasis, roughly 150 a night. $600 for one day, this room is horrible there is mold in the bathtub and I felt like I would’ve gotten the STD if I laid on the bed. Originally I would’ve paid $300 for my stay at the oasis, roughly 150 a night. On that weekend because of the convention the price of rooms shot up over double at all hotels. I truly believe my reservation was canceled so this hotel could make more money. Don’t stay at at a hotel that would put out a young family with an infant in the rain to make a few more dollars.

Ventajas:

Desventajas: Unbeknownst to us there was a "Skating Party" being hosted by the hotel. Despite not seeing anyone else in the entire hotel not at the party we were put in a room directly above the DJ. The music played until after 2:00 AM (which was 4:00 AM Dallas time). The only thing done to help was a couple of ear plugs that were entirely unsuccessful in drowning out the bass. The bed was uncomfortable and there was a smell of smoke in the room despite asking for a non-smoking room. It also took 20 min to check us in despite being the only people in the room trying to check in. Finally we were charged a service fee on top of what we had already paid through Kayak which meant the price reported was not the full price and we would not have stayed there knowing the room was going to be more like $70 for the night instead of $45.

Desventajas: Bad neighborhood. No hot water. No phone. Only two outlets. No sound-proofing. No Gideon's Bible. Arguably the worst motel I have been to in 56 years. My wife shares that opinion

Ventajas:

Desventajas: The hotel is in a questionable part of town. The pictures on the sites do not depict the real experience. There are people living in this hotel long term. The room was dirty, only half the outlets worked, the door didn't lock, the mattress and boxspring are wrapped in plastic and I found a bug on my bed when I pulled back the cover. We only stayed one night and thought we could get the two nights credited back to us. Instead they said we broke the door lock and handle. Don't waste your money!

Ventajas: If you'd like to talk and get to know some foreign tourists this is the place.

Desventajas: Poor poor parking accommodations. If you parking in the back of the secured area, you may not get out when more cram in. (Though it should be noted that it's nice that there IS secured parking).
